Excel VLOOKUP Wizard

Excel VLOOKUP Wizard is a one-step utility to pull matching values from another table located in the same or different Excel worksheet or workbook. You just select your main and lookup tables, specify the lookup and return columns, and have an impeccable Vlookup formula inserted in your worksheet with no additional efforts.

VLOOKUP Wizard does not use any custom functions, only native ones. Depending on which columns you select for the arguments, the wizard chooses the function most appropriate for your particular data. Thus, you get a robust Vlookup or Index/Match formula and learn some valuable tips about the formula syntax along the way. Win-win!

Easily :) Select a cell in your main table, start the add-in and fill in the following boxes:

1. Your table – your main table into which you want to pull relevant data (in most cases it's selected automatically).
2. Key column – the values to search for.
3. Lookup table – the table where you look up information.
4. Lookup column – the column to look up against.
5. Return column – the column from which you retrieve values.

Once the argument boxes are filled in, click the Insert button. Optionally, select the Back up the worksheet checkbox (recommended for the first use of the wizard). A new column with Vlookup formulas is inserted next to your key column, saving you the trouble of copying the formula manually.

Yes. If your columns have headers, just tick off My table has headers checkbox, and you will be able to select the columns by their headers.

Yes. Our VLOOKUP Wizard for Excel doesn't care where your lookup column is located. In situations when you need to vlookup to the left, an Index/Match formula is inserted, which can search anywhere.

No. Like all regular Vlookup formulas, the formulas built by the wizard are case-insensitive.

No. Sorting the lookup column in ascending order is only required for Vlookup with approximate match. Our wizard always makes Vlookup formulas with exact match (FALSE in the range_lookup argument), which do not require sorting the lookup column.
